Acurast’s Community-Built Tools: 2026 Update
In November 2025 we wrote about a few community-built tools that had started giving Acurast users new ways to see and explore the network. Six months on, that builder activity has grown noticeably. Two new tools have launched that significantly expand what’s possible from outside the official Hub, and one of the originals is still going strong.
A big part of what unlocked this wave was opening up the Acurast indexer. Once that became available, community builders could pull live network data directly into whatever they wanted to build. The dashboards and explorers below are what came of it.
Below is an updated look at three community tools worth knowing.
“Open the indexer, and the community builds the dashboards.”
A note on credit: the names of the people behind these tools aren’t always public. Where we know who built something, we say so. Where we don’t, the credit still belongs with anonymous community builders. If you know them, please reach out via Discord or Telegram so we can update this post.
Three Tools At A Glance
01 / Network Explorer
AcurastPulse
Live network feed, chain explorer, governance, staking, and personal device tracking.
02 / Token Analytics
Acurast Analytics
ACU economy, Staked Compute flows, processor liveness, and the wallet leaderboard.
03 / Quick Metrics
AcuScan
Top processor leaderboard, network heartbeat metrics, and processor lookup.
01 / AcurastPulse
The compute network, live and unfiltered.
AcurastPulse is the most comprehensive community-built window into Acurast. It pulls live network status, chain activity, manager and processor data, governance, staking, and personal device tracking into a single interface. If you want to understand what’s happening on the network in real time, this is where to look first.
The breadth of what Pulse covers makes it the natural starting point for anyone who wants more than the Hub provides.
Live network feed
Current block tip, TPS, processor and account counts, plus a rolling feed of recent blocks, extrinsics, and jobs.
Full chain explorer
Search any block, hash, account, manager ID, or processor address and pull up the detail.
Manager and provider profiles
Drill into compute providers, view staking posture, fleet health, and reward flow.
Governance and My Farms
Active referenda, treasury and council updates, plus personal device tracking through the My Farms page.

Open AcurastPulse to see live network state, governance, and your own farms.
02 / Acurast Analytics
A focused dashboard for ACU token economics, Staked Compute, and processor health.
Where Pulse leans toward chain exploration and live activity, Acurast Analytics zooms in on the economic side of the network: token supply, staking dynamics, wallet distribution, and the aggregate compute capacity backing it all. It’s the cleanest single view of where ACU lives and how Staked Compute is moving.
ACU economy view
Total supply, circulating supply, and the count of non-zero wallet addresses, all surfaced clearly in one place.
Staked Compute flows
Total ACU staked, split between Committers and Delegators, plus a live reward weight trend across 24h, week, and month views.
Processor liveness windows
Active processor counts at 1.5h, 24h, 48h, 5d, 10d, and 20d, useful for understanding network liveness over time.
Wallet leaderboard
Top wallet addresses ranked by ACU balance, with treasury and ecosystem accounts clearly labelled.

Open Acurast Analytics for a clean read on ACU economics and Staked Compute.
“Independent builders are creating tools that fill different gaps in how Acurast can be observed and understood.”
03 / AcuScan
A clean, focused leaderboard and network metrics view.
AcuScan was one of the first community-built tools that gave Acurast users a public, real-time read on the network. It remains a solid go-to for quick metrics and processor lookup. Clean, focused, fast.
You’ll find a top processor leaderboard, total heartbeat counts, total active devices, and other key network-wide indicators. There’s also a processor search that lets you look up your own device or anyone else’s by address. If you want a quick check rather than a full analytics deep-dive, AcuScan does the job in fewer clicks than the larger dashboards.
About These Tools
None of these tools are run by Acurast itself. They exist because individual community members decided the network needed them and built them. That matters. A network this distributed should have a distributed set of tools to explore it.
If you’re building something for the Acurast community that we haven’t covered here, get in touch through Discord or Telegram. The next iteration of this list won’t be far off.

The network these tools are tracking is large and getting larger. Every figure above updates as the network grows.
